Fresh off the back of winning Best Thriller at the Montreal Independent Film Festival in September, the new action, home invasion thriller called Avarice, is set for a nation-wide theatrical release on 8th December.
Co-written by Forbes local Dane Millerd (There’s Something In the Pilliga), former resident Adam Enslow, along with acclaimed screenwriter Andrew Slattery and film director John V. Soto (The Gateway), Avarice has been picked up in markets across the world and is currently number one in Austria and Germany.
For Dane Millerd, the journey as well as the reception to the film has been incredible. “When you see the film, it is easy to understand why the feedback has been so overwhelmingly positive,” Dane said.
Screening in Reading Cinemas across Australia, Avarice is a slick production filmed during the height of the pandemic in 2021 in Western Australia with a small but extremely capable cast and crew and was made for over $AU2 million. It was also an official selection at Western Australia’s CineFest Oz and the London Director Awards.
Starring Gillian Alexy (The Americans, Damages and McLeod’s Daughters) and old McLeod’s cast mate Luke Ford (Animal Kingdom, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Underbelly)
